Is this enough for a tip?

Photographer--$50.00 or 75.00?
Assistant -$25.00

Photojournalist-$50.00
Video-$50.00


MC-75.00?
DJ-50.00
Assistant- 25.00?


Hair-20%
Make-up-20%

FI thinks that's fine, but I am thinking that is too low, For goodnesss ake the limo drivers are getting 75.00(suggested by limo company) each and their job isn't as hectic.

Thanks

i have no idea what's good. It's not like you can do the 20% rule when you are paying them 7,000 or more!


I just don't wan to seem cheap especialy simce I still have to deal wit the photographer afterwards.


Thanks!

$75 for Limo! EACH! Are they going to be driving long distances? the others seem fine to me, but the limo seems like a lot. i would give the photographer $75 before giving each limo driver $75.

i agree with this as well, seems a bit much. We tipped our limo drivers $50 each and we had two drivers, they did a wonderful job though and came 15min early.

I thought it did too! That's what they suggested, but if that's the norm than I think 50.00 is fine!



Thanks ladies!

depending upon how hard your photography crew is working, you may want to tip them more.... ours worked pretty hard, and we tipped them about 125-200 each (200 for the senior person, and 125 for the other photojounalist...)

I gave my limo driver a large tip because I felt like he was extremely helpful. We were also contractually obligated to tip him 20% which would have been $100 but gave him more. I didn't tip the photographer because he owns the company and I didn't know I was supposed to.

That sounds good...oh yea, don't forget the tips for the Bridal attendant (if you're having one provided by RH and depending on their service too), Maitre'D (I heard it's about $3-$5 per head, depending on their service), Florist, Reverend...A lot of $$$...
